I bought my ( long time desired) truck about 4 weeks ago its a 2005 Ford F250 FX4 Lariat Crew Cab 4x4 6. liter diesel, i bought it used hence it was the one that the Ford store owner drove it had 6000 miles, i immediately commenced the upgrades, (Bassani 4' turbo back, Airaid intake which it already had, Tritune Maxmicro tuner : 80, 100, 150 hp settings, Big Bully dog 80hp propane injection with 10 gallon reserve, turbo and exhaust gas gauges, and finally the upgraded intercooler which produces an extra 20hp) { these upgrades should have me beyond the 600hp and 850lbs of torque, i havent dynoed yet but i will soon.}............................................ .................................................. .................................... Well i was going to the store to pick me up some beer, usually when i drive alone i have the tuner set at the max 150 hp setting and i just intalled the propane injection 3 days ago, i came up to a stop sign and long and behold a young guy in a C6 corvette, bone stock, still had paper plates, he looks at me, i could barely see him since i sit higher, and throws me a quick rev, i was like hmmmmmmmmmm, i wonder if he is showing off or he wants to go, i power braked for a bit and you can definately hear the turbo spool real quick, i switched to 4x4 high in an instant light turned green and we were off i heard him changing his gears and gained a little in second but then my 3rd gear caught and i pulled ahead we were doing about 90mph now and i slowed down, i pulled about a car on him, i was a little shaky (the feeling when you parachute of the plane for the first few times with all your gear) i didnt think id go for it. It felt good though, i pulled over in the store and the corvette owner followed, i got off the truck and he said there is no way you just pulled away from me like that, i was i think i just did, he was amazed, cool guy, i told him he better have his car checked out at the dealer. Not bad for a 7350 lbs truck.
